I do believe the potential of making money online is huge, but then it is kinda hard to begin with. Well, I am not trying to disappoint anyone in here but in my experience I think it is really a waste of time. I'd almost tried all the possible way to earn money online and all of them failed. Although I earn some money online but I think it is not sufficient enough to cover the time I'd spend online. I'd tried PTC sites (lots of them0, but then most or almost all of them are waste of time. You maybe earning by simply doing a small task of clicking ads, but the time you spend with those site really is more than what you got. It cannot even cover your electric bill. Gathering referrals need money and in the end you'll end up having lazy referrals. And now a days Neobux and Onbux are downgrading. Neobux reduce their ads rate and Onbux ads are (I think) are decreasing. I forgot those $0.0001/ads PTC because they are even more wasting my time. I'd tried paid survey site and unfortunately I am not from HEAVEN.. I mean, I am not from US or Canada where the blessed people are. It takes forever to reach minimum cashout in paid survey site. And if ever you reach them there is also a BIG chance the you might not get paid. I'd tried Paid-to-post sites, like Mylot (well people said this is not a paid-to-post site instead it is a ENJOY-TO-POST site) but one site that I'd joined and really work hard on it (TechDoctorDeals) also turned into scam. I'd tried Affiliate program like ClickBank, but it takes months before I got a single sale who later refunded his purchase becaeuse he claims it is a scam. I tried promoting it with PPC and I even lost more money than what I got. Alctually I don't got anything from it. I'd tried writing articles, and after writing 120 articles I still got $0.10 per day and Bukisa suddenly change their payment scheme so I need to create a Google Adsense account. I even created my blog to increase my Adsense earning. But gathering visitors to my blog really is a hard work. They say make your content a unique one, but I think almost all the content that I though about is already taken by someone. And you need to compete with them on Page Rank. I squeeze my brain just to make a single post and it can only get 1 visitor in a week. I know you might be saying it really needs patience and hardwork to earn money online. But I hate to disagree with you guys, for me the most important of all is how you can engage several people only. If you c an think of a website that can capture the interest of several people and let them engage with it, like Mylot, where members are engage to post, then I think you can earn decent money online. But if you plan to do stuffs like PTC, surveys, PTP, and others, then I think you are just wasting your time. Must better to turn off your computer and save electricity and minimize your monthly electric bill.

I understand the way you feel about extra jobs in the internet and it really consume you a lot of time. I'm a newbie here the world of internet and always using my time to study how to earn money online. I've been scammed many times but never quitted because I know if I learn more in this world of internet, I'm gonna be successful. It is really small in the first place in earning money, but in the future it will become big if I will work hard and be consistent. =)

You have covered most of the common and 'easy' ideas. Work online is not easy, but just as you said, some persistence is called for. I also agree with other posters who say to use the talents you have. I need to find a way to make a little more than I do, although I know that the amount I make would support some people in other countries. I will always use online as an extra income if I cannot generate enough residuals somewhere else.

Atlast....... i found a person who exposed the reality of earning money from the internet jobs. I experienced the same with all the available ways of earning online money for which i lost so much for the Internet bill and current bill. But the time......so much i have wasted. Now also i am trying but without any result.

The online earning sites should only be done on the sides and never the main source of one's income. I never complained how much i earn or get from the sites that i have joined because i just enjoy earning even just a few cents on the side. But for those people who are really relying on it and hoping to get more out of it, they might be disappointed. I have joined toneaday and i enjoy earning $23 a month there. If you have patience in rating phrases then you can get that too and it makes me happy earning that much. Yeah i considered it a lot considering that i don't invest anything in there at all. I really don't believe that people can earn so much from the earning sites but some are lucky enough to be earning a lot.
